You peel the layers off one by one. Slowly. Patiently. Making time. Taking time. Rewarded in small ways. And all the while, you’re working toward a goal. As the stewing makes the artichoke petals tender, so too, do time and effort create the tender treasure of friendship. We are most comfortable with the things we know the best. But if we always avoid the unfamiliar, how will we ever know what riches may be waiting for us, deep within the heart? A first encounter with an artichoke can be a perplexing and somewhat formidable experience, for the artichoke gives little clue from its appearance of the delights that wait within. The heart of the artichoke is surrounded – protected- by both leaves and the choke or thistle.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06118408267260893676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143350554888775855.post-34205888262941066382011-06-07T21:09:25.869-07:002011-06-07T21:09:25.869-07:00I love artichokes too!!
